President Michael Sata yesterday morning held a closed door meeting with Polish Prime Minister, Donald Tusk to discuss trade and investment issues following the prime minister’s visit to Zambia in October 2013.
The meeting between President Sata and Mr. Tusk was held at the Justus Lipsius building in Brussels and it lasted for 30 minutes.
The President was accompanied to the meeting by Foreign Affairs Minister Harry Kalaba, Commerce Minister Robert Sichinga and Zambia’s Ambassador to Belgium Grace Kabwe.
The meeting between President Sata and Mr. Tusk follows the latter’s three days state visit to Zambia in October 2013 for bilateral discussions.
During the visit to Zambia last year, President Sata called on the Polish business community to explore several areas of investment in Zambia.
The President said government was committed to providing a conducive environment for trade and investment because Zambia was endowed with abundant natural resources.
He implored the Polish business community to take advantage of Zambia’s good investment climate and quality manpower to explore areas of investment especially in infrastructure and agriculture.
The President said he recognized Poland’s impressive growth in the European Union and called for increased exchange of trade delegations between the two countries.
During the same meeting, the Polish Prime Minister assured Mr. Sata that his government was eager to see strengthened bilateral relations with Zambia.
Mr. Tusk said his country looked forward to increased economic, social and political relations with Africa mostly Zambia.
The Polish Prime Minister said Zambia was included in his regional visit because of its growing reputation of being a symbol of stability and predictability on the international arena and Southern Africa.

It feels so good without M.C, I hope he likes Brussels and stay there for 90 days.
Today even President Mumba went to visit Litunga.
You are expecting to much from an educated villager. Can’t even express him self in English for 5 minutes… 30 minutes is asking for too much
uneducated villager
What do you expect from a president who is accompanied by useless ministers. ..probably spent 25 mins joking about the weather . Opportunity wasted! !
Why not 30 minutes? Is this why we have long-winded write-ups that keep repeating inconsequential diatribe? If you are succinct, 10 minutes is a very long time. Less is more…
Compare the three( real) white people to the geriatric douche bags in that room. Which group looks like national representatives to you?
To be fair they all look like national representatives unless you have inferiority complex issues and I don’t know what you mean by “real” white people….it seems you do not know how much the western Europeans detest their poorer Eastern colleagues.
Disguised thug in statehouse
Honestly speaking,is it worth insulting SATA for just because he is attending a meeting? You lack so many things in your upbringing. Theres nothing wrong in speaking against SATA especially where he is going wrong but unfortunately the only strategy they know are insults. You can never win elections with your insults. Zambia has become the nation of people with appetite for INSULTS. God help us.
